Explores technological innovations expected to improve lives and hit mass market after 2000, but even concepts from the 1980s remain futuristic and unlikely for consumer use anytime soon.

A documentary about technological innovations that were supposed to improve our lives and be widely available to the mass market soon after the year 2000. Most inventions and ideas were outstanding. However, now that 2000 has passed even the concepts in the earliest shows appear just as futuristic and seem just as unlikely to be in consumer use in the near future as they did during the 1980s.—Sid Dithers <[email protected]>

Beyond 2000 was in it's time a popular Australian science & technological innovation show/series with a host of reporters which ran for 1 hour on Channel 7 back in the 80's/90's. Beyond 2000 was originally called Towards 2000 on the ABC then changed to Beyond 2000 when Channel 7 bought the rights to the show. Channel 10 then took over the reins in the 90's but the ratings dropped not long after so it was canceled. Then in 2004/2005 Beyond 2000 made a bold return as Beyond Tomorrow once again on Channel 7.—Alan Sorensen
